Cooper talked about Molly during a "60 Minutes" special, "Does Your Dog Really Love You?" The special was about dog intelligence, and Cooper was convinced that Molly knew exactly what she was doing to manipulate Cooper into giving her what she wants.

"I've always wondered if my dog is scamming me," Cooper said. "Do they really love us or do they just know, 'OK, if I lick their hand, they're gonna give me food.' Or, 'If I wag my tail, and if I look at them a certain way and I cock my head, that seems to work with this person.'"

Molly is sure to be deeply missed. Cooper has lots of love for dogs, and it's obvious that his bond with Molly ran deep.
